The Twelve Promises of Co-Dependents Anonymous©
I can expect a miraculous change in my life by working the program
of Co-Dependents Anonymous. As I make an honest effort to work the Twelve Steps
and follow the Twelve Traditions...
- I know a new sense of belonging. The feelings of emptiness
and loneliness will disappear.
- I am no longer controlled by my fears. I overcome my fears
and act with courage, integrity, and dignity.
- I know a new freedom.
- I release myself from worry, guilt, and regret about my past
and present. I am aware enough not to repeat it.
- I know a new love and acceptance of others and myself. I
feel genuinely lovable, loving, and loved.
- I learn to see myself as equal to others. My new and renewed
relationships are all with equal partners.
- I am capable of developing and maintaining healthy and loving
relationships. The need to control and manipulate others will disappear as
I learn to trust those who are trustworthy.
- I learn that it is possible for me to mend… to become
more loving, intimate, and supportive. I have the choice of communicating
with my family in a way which is safe for me and respectful of them.
- I acknowledge that I am a unique and precious creation.
- I no longer need to rely solely on others to provide my sense
of worth.
- I trust the guidance I receive from my Higher Power and come
to believe in my own capabilities.
- I gradually experience serenity, strength, and spiritual
growth in my daily life.
